Seatallan is a mountain in the western part of the English Lake District. It is rounded, grassy and fairly unassuming, occupying a large amount of land. However, it is classed as a Marilyn because of the low elevation of the col connecting it to Haycock, its nearest higher neighbour to the north.
Seatallan's most interesting feature is Buckbarrow, the 400-feet rampart of crags on the southern edge overlooking Wast Water. Buckbarrow is given a separate chapter in A. Wainwright's The Western Fells, and is thus classed as a Wainwright, despite having virtually no topographic prominence of its own.
The name Seatallan is believed to have a Cumbric origin, meaning "Aleyn's high pasture".
